EPTbut seriously, hopefully team8 does not get a corporate sponser... Imagine how psyched Idra is to play next to jd....
EG.Jaedong - Page 37

Correction: Daily ESPORTS mistakenly reported earlier that Jaedong would return to Team Eight immediately should they find a sponsor. This was a misunderstanding; Jaedong's 1 year period with EG is binding. | ||

On the other hand, Jaedong will get buffer. Just look what happened to Idra over the years. Mantoss had better watch out. | ||

And since SC2 is such a volatile game, the only thing we can do to compare players is their achievements in big tourneys and price money..;and Stephano is waybetter than both. HerO has done better than him in BWC, Dreamhack, and IPL5. Until Stephano takes his invite to GSL and makes it to ro4, it's pretty easy to say HerO is better. | ||

Everyone just loves him because he's a classy dude. Nothing wrong with that. Jaedong was great at Brood War but both these guys have a lot of work ahead of them. The impact is more symbolic more than anything else. what? Sea is loved cause he is classy? He is the reason why MBC won proleagues. | ||

I'm relatively new to the scene (started following BW in 2008), but I can't recall hearing about a similar situation. If they were just bad, or their top players were slumping that would be one thing, but clearly team 8 lacks financial backing and their players perform worse than they did on Oz which does not bode well for a comeback. Furthermore with the current number of sc2 teams in Korea and the national interest I don't see anything positive happening in the next year for T8. | ||
